The Afghanistan Freedom Front (AFF) has claimed responsibility for an attack on a Taliban intelligence forces’ convoy in Kabul's Khairkhana area.
The Taliban convoy was allegedly targeting girls and detaining them in the Panjsad Family neighbourhood.
According to the AFF, the attack resulted in three Taliban members being killed and two others being injured. Two Taliban ranger vehicles also suffered partial damage.
The Taliban is yet to comment on the incident.
Local sources reported hearing an explosion around 7am on Thursday, in the vicinity of the Panjsad Family intersection, located in Kabul's Police District 15.
The AFF had previously issued a letter from a fighter addressing the women of Afghanistan, condemning the Taliban's arrest of young women for alleged dress code violations. The fighter pledged to stand for women's rights, deeming them as the true owners of Kabul.
This attack comes amidst a new surge of arrests by the Taliban targeting girls and women for “improper hijab”, which has sparked considerable backlash. A Taliban spokesperson claimed these women were briefly detained for dress code violations and subsequently, released.
Reports have also surfaced alleging the Taliban's torture of detained girls and their family members.
